Do you ever feel like you’re trying so hard to keep up with life’s demands and the pressure from society to do more? In this article we’ll share a new way to approach our responsibilities and show up as our best self, fully present to the things that matter most.

Confidence doesn’t just show up one day like an out-of-town visitor pulling the pop-in. In rare cases, you may feel confident because of an unexpected twist of events, but in reality, most of us are doing it scared.

And that’s okay because doing it scared requires bravery. It takes courage to do the thing you know is right, take a leap of faith into the unknown, or voice an unpopular opinion simply because your voice needs to be heard.

If there’s one thing you should learn early on it’s this: just because you deserve something doesn’t mean it’s going to be offered to you. This is especially true for women in the workplace.

If you think you’re doing a good job, you know you’re the right person for the promotion, and you are confident you’ll be able to prove your value, don’t wait around to be noticed.

Conflict resolution doesn’t have to be scary. Consider every conflict as an opportunity to develop your leadership skills. There are many leaders who avoid conflict. If you can learn how to resolve it, you - and your team - will benefit greatly.
